YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 18, ARMENPRESS. Gazprom Armenia said it will suspend gas supply to several Natural Gas Fueling Stations for one or two days as a safety precaution because of the disruptions of the daily volumes of imported gas.

The operator reported a partial blockage in the North Caucasus-Transcaucasia Transit Gas Pipeline, which supplies gas to Georgia and Armenia.  The partial blockage happened 16:00, February 14 in Stavropol Krai, Russia, which resulted in significant decrease in the daily volumes of the gas imported to Armenia. It did not mention the cause of the blockage. 

Given the interruptions and insufficient quantities of imported gas, as well as the technical conditions and capacity of the underground gas storage facility in Abovyan, Gazprom Armenia said it will briefly suspend gas supply to a number of Automobile Natural Gas Fueling Stations starting 11:00, February 18 as a safety precaution to prevent accidents and ensure the reliable and uninterrupted gas supply to the remaining gas consumers.

Over 90 other Natural Gas Fueling Stations will continue functioning normally with uninterrupted gas supply.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
